Re: Red cards and Red Kits, Bolton v Charlton - 17th Feb 2024 3pm

I have not been impressed with Paris in the past with his little moments of flashes, nor his inability to tackle, nor his inability to shoot...but thankfully, and credit to the Manager and the player, he is definitely improving and can be a game winner based on his skills and ability to go past play...

Re: Red cards and Red Kits, Bolton v Charlton - 17th Feb 2024 3pm

I don't care what Derby, Posh or any other team is doing. Win our games and we go up. Right now, we are not playing well because our best players are either injured or suspended. Baxter, Santos, Thomason, Charles. Few teams are able to win games without their best players. We need them back. First h...

Re: Wandering, Why come back home? Bolton v Wycombe - 13th Feb 2024 19:45pm

The thing about the style is teams have really optimised the press against us. Press high then drop off if we get comfortable possession out wide or in midfield. They aren’t being drawn out and the hybrid press is a) causing us issues from the back and b) making it very hard when we do manage to ge...

Re: Wandering, Why come back home? Bolton v Wycombe - 13th Feb 2024 19:45pm

Needed those 3 pts and we did it. Much better 2nd Half than the first. I thought Paris had his best game for us. He was involved throughout his time on the pitch rather than in patches. JDC was superb and DadBod showed how to control a ball under pressure. Happy for his goal and Jones header was sup...

Re: Wandering, Why come back home? Bolton v Wycombe - 13th Feb 2024 19:45pm

Evatt should always seek to play his best side. I am not a big rotation fan barring injury and possibly fatigue. Footballers always want to play every game. I thought for example, red zone or not, JDC should have played. We suffered for not having him on the field. I thought Collins should have star...

Re: A Load of Cobblers. Away to Northampton Sat, 10th Feb.3-0'clock.

Cogley a big miss. Defenders lookig like they never have played together in a game. Maybe that's a fact. I would take off the front 2 for the 2nd half..giving us nothing. Did we pay so much for Collings to keep him on the bench? Coleman not inspiring confidence in our defenders and we are playing it...

Re: Alas poor Yor(i)k, I knew it well. Home v Barnsley, Sat Feb 3rd, 3-0' clock.

Terrible schoolboy ball watching error by Maghoma who lost his man for the goal. His defending has been his weakness and its not improving. Struggling to create a chance despite dominating the ball. Taylor is a good player, his pinpoint passing into the midfield is a joy. Demps control and aggressio...

Re: To be continued. Home to Cheltenham, Tues Jan 23rd , 7-45.

The team is running on empty but found a way to win. Fixture pile up taking its toll on the players now. Williams, Santos, Thomasson, Dempsey and Sheehan all seemed to be carrying injuries by the end of the game. With games coming fast and furious, having games in the hand is no comfort as we way no...

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.

Evatt saying that at the end of the window hopefully everyone will be happy, I couldnt shake the feeling that a key personnel will leave (Bod, Vic, Charles, Thomo? ) to fund some attractive options coming in.

Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

The effort against Luton has clearly taken its toll. Leyton are fresh, but we still got the best chance of the game. Keep digging in the 2nd half. We are missing our wing backs attacking. Ade doing huge work. Thomason being closely watched by their #8. Got some joy towards the end. Need to see Demps...

Many thanks for the link Dj. What a performance by the team. Sheehan was world class. Superb!! Every player gave everything to the end and showed their quality. They had me in awe at times. Show this consistently every week and we will win L1 by some distance.

Re: Tall dark strangers at the door. At home to Burton Albion New Years Day 3-0 clock

Excellent commanding performance which deserved more goals than one. Four wins in four is something to be very proud of, no matter who the opposition is because every team we play are not going to hand it to us on a plate. We have to work for our dinner every game, and we should never take winning f...

Re: Following our star Eastwards. Lincoln City away, Boxing Day 26th Dec 1500 hrs.

Morley did well for me too. Paris the very opposite. Baxter had little to do. The centre backs held their own. The Wing Backs.. JCD did ok, Williams not so good. The forwards worked hard but were unable to penetrate. Thomo..a class above. A very important 3 points. Pleased.

Re: Following our star Eastwards. Lincoln City away, Boxing Day 26th Dec 1500 hrs.

Dominating possession. Thomasson and Morley dominating midfield. Paris his usual self, this time without the once in a while flash in the pan dribble. Need to take him out soon. Backing Ade to score. When we step up the pace we look dangerous. Toal and Santos playing out too slowly and we are a mist...

Re: Murder on the Orient Express. Home to Leyton O, Sat 23rd Dec, 15:00

Important 3 points. After a comfortable first half the change of tactics by Leyton in the second unhinged us. The dreaded "press" which is our kryptonite. Credit to Forrester, Dempsey, Sheehan, Thomason and Toal who put their bodies on the line to keep us in front in that 2nd half. I am really surpr...

Seems like I am a lone voice on Paris, but he has to show me more to prove to me that he could cut it in the Championship. I have been keeping a close eye on him. He has the x-factor but cannot flit in and out of games as he currently does. I would love to see his passing accuracy and game involveme...

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.

I think selling Morley in January would be crazy. A young player with potential in whom we have invested in, and is still developing. How many of our current midfielders can kick a dead ball like him? He is going through a bad patch now but with patience he will come through it. I am more concerned ...

We wilted under the intense pressure put on us in front of thousands of screaming fans and lost our belief as the game went on.
